Members JerEvil Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 My Charvels was like this and I have seen it on other guitars. What gives? Do you just take the neck off to do adjustments??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benzem Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 You don't have to take it off, just loosen enough to get a wrench on it. Then lather, rinse, repeat. My old Squier is like that and I carved out a divot for access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ju5t1n20 Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've had to take the neck off both my Charvels to adjust it. A bit of a PiTA but it's not too bad thanks to the locking nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NaturalBornBoy Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah I hate that about Charvels. Why design it to be such a PITA? EBMM truss rod adjustment wheel FTMFW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBMM truss rod adjustment wheel FTMFW I love the wheels on the Wolfgangs. Wished Charvel would have done that. It would make things a lot easier. But then that would be too much like right?!

Members soc_monki Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 a guitar would have to be really special for me to overlook easy adjustment. be it the wheel (as on my EBMM) or adjustment at the top of the neck, easy is just better IMO. then again, like i said, if i played a guitar, and it was just "right"...then i could overlook it. but it just seems like such a boneheaded move to me...

Members Bumhucker Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've had my So Cal for almost a year and haven't had to touch the truss rod yet, even with all the fluctuations in humidity. It's no big deal to me really. Actually most of my strats rarely need a truss rod tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah, my So Cals have been set and forget thus far, and the locking nut/high quality make it a pretty quick operation. I don't mind, since they haven't needed adjusting since I set em up right when I got em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members butterguitar Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Did you check where the neck meets the body of the guitar? :troll: Hey now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind, since they haven't needed adjusting since I set em up right when I got em. Yup, my San Dimas's quartersawn neck has been rock solid for over a year, and I'm the kind of person that checks often. Kind of hoping for the same kind of stability of a quartersawn Warmoth neck I'm working with right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crunchtime Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 I won't buy a guitar that needs the neck removed to set the truss rod. I really picky about how my neck is set. I use my feeler gauges and get that {censored} precise. It could possibly take a couple attempts and be a pita with the Charvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those necks were made by Warmoth I heard. Not sure if that's correct though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
